Seeing Liu Gang and the others quickly running away, Zhang Che couldn’t help but let out a long relieved breath.

If he didn’t have to look after them, Zhang Che was not afraid of facing off against this Iaspi Leopardi at all.

So what if it had a powerful wide area offensive skill?

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could restrain it!

Although the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was no longer a pure water-attributed beast since it evolved from the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon, the effects of his arctic breath still contained elements of water, after all. It could still suppress the Iaspi Leopardi’s fire attributes to some extent.

At this moment, the Iaspi Leopardi’s gaze was fixed onto the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon after walking out of the cave, its eyes cautious.

As for the Unicorn and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, it didn’t pay any attention to them at all.

It made sense. Although both the Unicorn and Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus were at legend-quality, two quality ranks higher than the Iaspi Leopardi, their levels were also two ranks lower than it, with a large realm separating them.

With the difference between them cancelled out, naturally it wouldn’t care about these two small fries.

The only thing that made it feel apprehensive was the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, whose entire body was emitting a cold aura.

However, this wasn’t the reason that forced it out!

It was guarding the spiritual herb it had discovered in the cave peacefully. It just had to wait a few more days for it to fully mature. After consuming it, its strength would improve greatly, but now it was provoked again and again. Who could tolerate that!?

The Iaspi Leopardi roared angrily and charged straight towards Zhang Che.

As a seven-star exotic beast, naturally it’s intelligence wasn’t something low-tier exotic beasts could compare to. It could vaguely tell that something bad would happen to these beasts if it killed Zhang Che.

“Oh shit, you’re not a stupid one, are you!?”

Zhang Che finally realized why high-tier beastmasters put so much importance into training themselves.

When facing off against high-tier exotic beasts, those beasts were actually aware of the principal behind “To catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader”. They would directly aim for the beastmaster. If you couldn’t fend for yourself, you’d fall right away to the beasts once your subdued beasts’ defenses faltered.

“My boys, go, rough it up!”

Following Zhang Che’s command, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon took the lead and dove down from the skies, unleashing a stream of frozen air at their enemy.

The Iaspi Leopardi’s red locks swayed without any wind. A ripple seemed to form around it, distorting the surrounding light rays. It was like fires had caught within a five meter radius around it, forming an aura of flames.

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s arctic breath swept over, unable to reach the Iaspi Leopardi’s body before it was neutralized by that fire elemental tempest.

“It’s powerful indeed!” Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed slightly on seeing this, not showing any signs of fear.

On the ground, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus strode forward, charging at the Iaspi Leopardi from the front like a super tank. Every step it took caused the earth to tremble.

Meanwhile, the Unicorn was guarding at Zhang Che’s side, ready to bestow healing upon the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus and Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon at any moment.

Liu Gang and the others were standing far away at the turn in the valley, watching the ongoing battle.

“Do you guys think Zhang-shao’s subdued beasts will claim victory over that exotic beast?” Liu Gang asked his subordinates, his expression solemn with worry.

“I keep feeling that this exotic beast is unusual. Hopefully it’s not too terrifyingly powerful.”

“I don’t know,” Pang Dazhi said. He was a man of few words.

On the other hand, Yi Chong’s gaze was on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, looking at it with narrowed eyes as the beast swooped down from the sky. He said thoughtfully, “I think Zhang-shao has a chance. From the looks of it, that exotic beast is a fire-attributed one, and Zhang-shao’s subdued beast happens to be cold-attributed, with elements of the water attribute too. It can restrain that exotic beast to a certain degree.”

Liu Gang nodded, “Let’s wait and see. If Zhang-shao’s subdued beasts show any signs of losing, don’t care about anything else and get on your flying beasts and run. Zhang-shao has that blue ice dragon. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to escape.”

Pang Dazhi and Yi Chong nodded in agreement.

They weren’t like those stupid characters in television dramas who would rush up to help their companions despite knowing that they were burdens, dragging each other down into a horrible ending.

Being able to ensure their own safety was the biggest help they could provide to their companions.

Back on the battlefield, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon didn’t stop despite his first attack yielding no result. He kept blowing out stream after stream of cold air, forming a mass of faint blue mist in the air that rolled towards the Iaspi Leopardi as it charged at Zhang Che.

The darkfiend cold air was extremely low in temperature; the moment it made contact with the fire tempest surrounding the Iaspi Leopardi, the two opposing elements clashed and triggered a chaotic flow of wind, producing sharp whistling sounds in the air.

The valley was instantly covered in a sandstorm, dust and earth flying everywhere.

At this moment, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus finally leapt upon his target.

Despite the Iaspi Leopardi being considered a large land-type exotic beast, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus was more than a full size bigger than it. It was like a fierce tiger pouncing on a lone wolf.

However, the end results were disappointing. Facing the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus, whose forte was brute strength, the Iaspi Leopardi didn’t stand there stupidly and take on the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus in a contest of strength. It directly made use of its innate wind attribute and took off into the sky, flying over the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus and chasing after Zhang Che.

Standing on the ground, the Steel-Armored Tyrannosaurus raised his head and roared out grudgingly, as if he was taunting, “Bastard, get down here if you have the guts to! Let’s fight it out, one on one; we’ll see who’s the stronger one!”

Alas, why would the Iaspi Leopardi give him the time of day? It directly glided away, flying straight for Zhang Che, who was now only a short distance away.

At this moment, a dazzling electrical light suddenly shone on the Unicorn’s spiral horn, shooting out a terrifying ray of light.

How could the Iaspi Leopardi dodge in midair? Its huge figure took a direct hit. It let out a furious roar as it crashed onto the ground, raising dust clouds at the impact.

At the turn in the valley, Liu Gang and the others were shocked after seeing this. They couldn’t help but exchange glances, noticing the fright in one another’s eyes.

Originally, they thought Zhang Che’s Unicorn was only a healing-type subdued beast. They didn’t expect it to have such a powerful attacking skill.

An electric-attributed skill attack of this degree would probably inflict a heavy injury even if the target was powerful to the extreme, right?

Perhaps… Zhang Che would be able to successfully take this battle…

The three of them felt great relief inside.

After all, if Zhang Che had to run away after suffering a loss, despite them not going to help him being the correct choice to make, who knew what this young master would think?

If he complained about them after they returned, even if the general didn’t pursue the matter, he would have some seeds of doubt in his heart. Their days from then on would be terrible.

Inside the cloud of dust, the Iaspi Leopardi stood up again after being struck down by the Unicorn and let out a deafening roar.

“How is that possible!?”

Liu Gang and the others’ face changed once again.
